[OpenWrt-Devel] Open source & open process

Hi all,

While we all agree that the OpenWRT core developers are doing great
work, are really busy, and sometimes it's more important to fix a bug
that to send an email, I think Etienne raises a valid point here:
communication could be better and the project management could be more
open...

For example, I did not know that "BB-final binaries have been online for
over a day"... is it really too much to ask to send a short note about a
major release to the mailing list?
